Diagnosis (see Koehler and Vaney, 1905)
Remarks. This family was erected to include animals with a cylindrical body, narrower at the oral end, which have papillae or tube feet exclusively on the two dorsal radii but not on the other three. It currently comprises two genera: Gephyrothuria and Paroriza , previously found off eastern Australia, Gephyrothuria from Queensland to Tasmania and Paroriza from north and east of Tasmania (WoRMS and ALA, January 2024).
